Given what we know is coming, does it make sense to drop the ioemu: here
and just have it be implied for HVM guests?  Accept it if it's there
(and then drop it if we're on xend 3.0.3), but not really show it?

Then again, not 100% sure how all of this is going to interact when we
start having PV drivers for HVM guests :-/

Similarly, instead of target dev='cdrom', does it make more sense to
have a devicetype (or something) that's an attribute of the disk rather
than a magic device?
